Viewing API Logs

The API log displays the API calls issued to the Device Cloud by a user or a thing.

Each log entry shows timestamp, command, execution time, server that processed the request, and the user name of the user who executed the request.

  1. Click Developer and then click API log.
  2. (Optional) Do one or more of the following to specify filter criteria:

    • To restrict the results shown to a specific date range, select a date and time in the From and To calenders.

    • To restrict the results to a specific API command, select a service from the Command list and optionally, type a command in the text box.

      By default, the logs for all services and commands appear. If you select a service, by default logs for all the service commands appear.

    • To filter the list based on a thing or user, type the thing key or the email address of the user in the Who box.

    • To view the API calls with an error response, select the Failures only check box.

  3. (Optional) To apply the filter criteria, click Show.

    The filters are used in combination to get a consolidated list.

    A Request and Response page appears with the JSON request sent by the client and the response received from the server.
